PRESS RELEASE
BOSTON, February 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Withinan Israeli cybersecurity startup offering machine identity security and secrets management, has extended its industry-first, award-winning platform with the addition of Machine Identity Lifecycle Management and significant new integrations designed to further assist organizations who work primarily on-premise and are moving to the cloud.
Entro’s new Machine Identity Lifecycle Management capabilities provide security teams with the tools to manage, actively monitor, and control the entire lifecycle of a secret, from creation, to use, to retirement, and everything in between. It also helps apply best practices for managing secrets in CI/CD pipelines, communications and collaboration platforms, and retiring secrets and other critical lifecycle events.
The company also announced new Entro platform integrations with CIFS/SMB file shares and Microsoft SharePoint. CIFS (Common Internet File System) and SMB (Server Message Block) are both Windows file sharing protocols used in storage systems. This will allow organizations that have been primarily on-premises and are moving to the cloud to use the Entro platform to scan documents across traditional file shares or on-premises SharePoint to find and track secrets as they continue to move further into the cloud.
Entro’s integrations with repositories, code repositories, CI/CD, cloud services, and collaboration solutions, such as AWS Secrets Manager, Azure KV, GitHub secrets, HashiCorp, Jira, and many others, represent a significant competitive advantage. They enable the Entro platform to integrate seamlessly with cloud infrastructures and DevOps tools to efficiently oversee and protect non-human identities, ensuring comprehensive security and compliance through a unified interface.
Already a pioneer in the transformation of non-human identity management, Entro is the first holistic covert security platform that detects, safeguards and enriches contextual, machine and non-human identities.
Second The latest Verizon data breach investigation reportBreaches based on machine secrets are among the top three attack vectors today and the most destructive type of breach for an organization.
Entro has seen rapid growth in the nine months since its launch, driven by its unique solution to the rampant problem of secret proliferation. Its platform now analyzes thousands of secret machine-to-machine interactions every hour in customer production systems to identify behavioral anomalies. Technology leaders including Elastic, SolarWinds, agoda and Silverfort protect and manage their secrets with Entro. The company was also named a “Cool Vendor” and leader by Gartner in two Hype Cycle reports and received the Venafi Award for Most Promising Machine Identity Innovator.
New lifecycle management and machine identity integration capabilities build on Entro’s proven technology to quickly uncover all the context surrounding machine secrets, from vaults to app code to the dark web. These advances further solidify Entro’s leadership in providing CISOs and security teams with the most comprehensive solution to combat “secret sprawl” and protect machine identities, keys and cloud access credentials from access, disclosure or unauthorized use.
Currently, companies rely on vaults for storage and secret scanners that look for leaked and exposed secrets. These capabilities, while essential, are not sufficient to solve the problem. They do not provide the necessary context about stored secrets, nor do they monitor or provide details about cloud tokens or provide insights into usage, anomalous behavior, or any related risks per secret.
“The fact is that mitigating risks related to machine secrets is really, really difficult. Companies have no idea how many secrets they keep in the cloud, where they are located, who owns them, when they were last rotated, and in many cases, even what processes they control,” said Itzik Alvas, CEO and co-founder of Within. . “Perhaps the worst impact is that this uncertainty can prevent security and DevOps teams from knowing what to do or even taking action for fear of damaging production systems. Our platform provides the visibility and monitoring needed to answer these questions, enabling them to identify threats early, take decisive action and reduce risk.”
